Making 3D-printed zippers USEFUL or fall chasing the dream

In this video I will try to design useful products using 3D printed zippers. A simple project but a complex product. Are 3D printed zippers a toy or a tool? This project will test my engineering skills and patience. Can I design a functional product?
